Lots of walls for one person

Went out and finally ordered me a new desk, some big enough for this huge 22" monitor...now I just gotta wait a couple weeks until it gets here. I hope everyone has a safe happy new year. See you in 2006.

The Start is OK

Got most of the way settled in...thx Dave for riding half-way across the nation to help me move in. I hope the flight home was ok. I'm sure it was a lot better than the ride over here though. It started out with a ton of unopen boxes & has now dwindled down to many empty boxes. Starting to look like an actual place with tons more room, it is coming together nicely. After I get under the reigns of work for a few weeks, I'm going to spring for that billiards table for my extra room. Dave, you know what I'm talking about. It's a pretty sweet setup, and I'm sure the girls out there would be jealous of the location. About a half a mile away is...a Wal-Mart SuperCenter, a nice huge Mall, plenty of places to eat at, and 2 movie theatres.

Bye Charlotte & to everyone that cares to know

I posted some of the pics that I took of Me, Ab & Matt. When I have time after moving out & in, I will post more of them. Tonight will be the last night I will be in Charlotte until whenever. Tomorrow around noon I will be leaving out to my new "living area," Abilene, Texas. It's not something I am going to enjoy...the whole new life of not knowing anyone around, but it's a bittersweet opportunity & blessing I need to take. I will miss you all that knew me or tried to get to know me with the short time given, especially the ones I have known for the longest...aka Dave [Wyatt to some of you] & Mike. Not sure how I'm going to handle being 1278 miles away from family & the ones I like to call friends, but it's got to happen. If anyone wants the address, IM me or email me. If you have my number, gimme a call tomorrow cause the drive is going to be quite the long drive. Until then, bye...

I want to stop time

Got my stupid car looked at today by the insurance adjuster...got some good checks in return to cover damage by those lazy thieves. Go pick on a more expensive car!!! Then, I had a good experience with a bag of this "taste better than anything" chocolates. I think I ate too many of them though. After my stomach finally forgave me, Bett & I went to see the big King Kong remake. Thx for going with me. Fantastic is a good word for the movie. The night ended unfortunately, another one gone by. Only a few more in NC...night

I'm going to hate the distance

Finally got to start the Christmas shopping. It's not about the presents this time of year or about children and the big red man with the white beard. That's one reason why I don't go all out for stupid presents. Remember the real reason! I have a lot of paperwork, insurance claims, driving around, phone calls, blah blah to handle before leaving the east coast next week...so if you have time and want to see me before I leave this side of the country, let me know.

     If not, Merry Christmas and g'bye.

The Last 2 Weeks will be way to short

Finally, finally, finally back from all my dang traveling. I got my place in Texas, handled some business with banking mess, and got back Thursday night. That was a lot of driving. I will be leaving the Charlotte/China Grove on the 27th to head to my new home, Abilene, Texas. I'm glad I'll be here for the holidays, but not sure about the whole new place thing. I'm going to make up for the rest that the past 5 days has stolen from me.

Off again, and not liking it for the most part

Well, back in China Grove for a minute, then it's time to hit the road again. I'm back from the extremely long weekend in Raleigh & Atlantic City. The bad news is that I'm off again in the morning to Texas. This time on the road it won't be for work. It will be for finding that new place to live. The approximate 15 hour drive is what I am not looking forward to. Oh, and to add to tons of driving, my car got broken into while I was away in Atlantic City. Dave & Mike, thanx for taking care my piece while I was away. The 18 is still in place, so I'm still smiling somewhat. Anywho, it's up to Char then back here to head out in the morning. Later everyone.

Weekend Work Trip

Leaving tomorrow morning early to head to Raleigh for another photoshoot all day, then driving straight up to Atlantic City after that. I'm not too hyped about New Jersey, but we'll be busy all day. There will be over 200 teams to shoot for this 2 days event, so I'll be dead either before or after the drive back...on Monday.

It is official, plus my face is hurting from wisdom teeth day

Today started out with getting my wisdom teeth pulled. That was just fun bleeding more than I expected, but at least those huge things are out of my mouth. Those things were huge.

     It got much better right when I walked through the door after having my face ripped off by the surgeon. I walked into the apartment not being able to talk, checked my email to realize that I had one amazing offer. My trip to Texas this week was a walkthrough at a hospital for a position servicing the local hosptial and the five surrounding counties. Aramark has hired me to be a Imaging Service Engineer at the Hendrick Hospital in Abilene, 2 hours west of the Dallas-Fort Worth rea. I'm hoping to start several days after Christmas so I can at least be around for the holidays with friends & family. It's going to be hard leaving, especially the ones that mean a lot. Mike, you're gonna have that big apartment all to yourself now. Dave, it's going to be the first time in 20-some years we haven't been right down the street. Everything is going to be brand new after it all. More information will come later.

Hopefully soon, better than later

Texas was interesting for the reason I went. Things look promising as of now. Tomorrow will be fun if getting wisdom teeth taken out is fun. Oh, it's December...time to start buying stuff for people.
